He realized he had the skills to start his own Etsy shop and branched out on his own. TagPup quickly reached the top 1% of all Etsy shops, and the #1 store in the pet niche. In this interview, Vlad shares his insights on starting an Etsy shop for beginners. We’ll find out how he chose his niche and products, his tricks for Etsy SEO, and what he did when he first started the shop to set it up for fast growth. He’ll also talk about making the most out of Etsy’s tools, and how to design an Etsy shop and product pages to attract the most customers.

We’ll learn how Vlad used his initial $500 investment, and hear his advice for starting an Etsy shop with little to no money. Another big factor in TagPup’s success is their custom design process, which includes printing their own fabric.
